The Village of Estero has announced that roadway and intersection construction tied to the Woodfield mixed-use development will begin Tuesday, September 8, along Coconut Road just west of U.S. 41. As your local Estero Realtor team, we track any infrastructure work that touches daily commutes and access near active development corridors, and this project is worth knowing about if you live, work, or are searching for a home near this stretch of Coconut Road.
What's Starting September 8
According to the Village of Estero, construction is expected to last up to six months and includes a landscaped roundabout at Coconut Road and Walden Center Drive, along with new street lighting, irrigation and landscaping. The Village is urging residents to use caution when driving through the area once work begins.
How This Fits Into the Larger Woodfield Project
The roadwork is part of Phase 1 infrastructure for Woodfield, the 45.6-acre mixed-use development at the northwest corner of U.S. 41 and Coconut Road. We reported last month on FRP Development Corp and Woodfield Development starting vertical construction on the first phase, which includes roughly 296 apartment homes and 30,000 square feet of retail space, with initial units expected in the third quarter of 2027. At full build-out, Woodfield's overall plans call for roughly 600 dwelling units, 80,000 square feet of retail and dining space, and a boutique hotel, designed as a walkable town center directly across from Coconut Point.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
If your daily route runs through Coconut Road near U.S. 41, expect construction detours and slower traffic for up to six months starting September 8. For buyers evaluating homes near this corridor, it's a reasonable trade-off to weigh: short-term construction disruption against the long-term upside of new retail, dining and housing landing directly across from Coconut Point. For sellers nearby, continued visible progress on a project this size is another signal of sustained investment in the corridor.
